hi,
earlier today I sent a proposal to add a :scope type ('attribute') to
PAST::Var nodes.
As it turnes out, Jonathan++ already implemented this. However, the emitted
set/getattribute only work on the "self" object.
Attached is a patch that evaluates the first child of a PAST::Var(
:scope('attribute') ) node as the object on which the attribute is get/set.
The idea is, if there's a child node, evaluate that as the object, if it's
not there, assume 'self'.
This is my first hack on the PAST compiler, so I didn't commit this myself.
One possible future improvement may be to add a :vivibase attribute to the
PAST::Var(:scope('attribute')) nodes, but then again, you might as well set
the :viviself attribute on the PAST object representing the object. So never
mind that :-)
